"American Horror Story" - on FX Wednesdays at 10PM

I've been a fan of FX for quite some time. My all-time favorite show was "Rescue Me" which had its stunning finale recently. The writing was so good - especially when the fire fighters were in the lunch room talking. Sometimes it was hilarious and other times it got physical. I also like "Justified" which was based on Elmore Leonard's novels. And then there was "Nip/Tuck." That was a show about a couple of plastic surgeons who had many patients and lots of sex. They operated and then had sex, sometimes in an operating room or their office . . . anywhere there was enough room for two people. It was created by Ryan Murphy who created "Glee." It was hard for me to think of Ryan writing a little high school story and then rushing over to do "Nip/Tuck" where one of the doctors was doing a vagina restructure and immediately thereafter having wild sex in the doctor's lounge - not, of course, with the vagina patient. Too soon for her.

So now there is "American Horror Story." What in the hell is this one about? This is the kind of show I usually avoid because of the creepiness, but I decided to give it a try because of Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk who created it. It's the creepiest thing I've ever seen! Dylan McDermott (the father) and Connie Britton (the mother) move from Boston to Los Angeles for a fresh start. Dylan had had an affair and Connie a miscarriage. They also brought along their daughter who seems a little strange. They buy a house that is huge, old, dark and very ugly. There have been murders in it and there will be more. But they want a fresh start and apparently will take anything. There's a neighbor, Jessica Lange who also is very strange with a mongoloid daughter as she calls her. Dylan is a shrink who has two teen-age patients so far who are also strange. . . bordering on crazy! Connie won't have sex with Dylan as she's still punishing him for his affair, but finally does one afternoon. And that night she has sex again with someone in a medieval type costume with just his eyes exposed. She seems to enjoy it and thinks it's her husband coming for seconds. But I don't think it is. Shortly after, she says she's pregnant but thinks there's something wrong with the baby. In last night's show, Dylan goes back to Boston to take his old girlfriend for an abortion. But while he's gone, there are murders in his new house and all hell breaks loose!

This is a very strange show! Everyone in it is crazy. Connie may be the sanest one, but I think she is on the edge. Dylan sees the maid as a seductive, beautiful young woman whereas she is actually not young, beautiful or seductive. So I think even Dylan is crazy. I'll probably keep watching . . .
